Would you lot just stop fighting......
Its says it all.
The religious world seems intent on causing fights where ever that may be. Now I'm not religious at all but I could have sworn there's something in "the book" that says they should love peace etc. exactly the same as is in "the other groups books". So why does this first group want a fight with the second group. If its not group "A" fighting group "B" then its something else like "get off my land". Its way too heavy for me.
Can you just stop fighting please. I want to go on holiday. I'm not dissing either side in any of the conflicts or any legitimate arguments but if you could just stop for about 12 months that would be just smashing. Thanks.
Another thing that gets me is the Africa countries and especially the west side (not wesside) as they seem to have zero respect for anything including human life. Do the governments of those places have such little pride that they don't care that their country is a dirty hole that nobody dare to go near? The people and officials (mostly the police and "road officials") are so corrupt that every journey is a royal pain in the bum requiring road blocks and bribes for made up offences. Do they not see that the less they do these things the more visitors they will get? Its a real shame.

We've yet to sample the South American corruption which is, wait for it, Legendary ! We all know which roads, at which road blocks they are and which officers are doing the criminal acts but nobody does anything about it. We know where, to the kilometer, they hide or don't. Again nobody does anything. I can certainly say they are not getting anything from me for a made up offence. I've now purchased additional number plates to get round their primary scam of a front number plate. This normally applies to bikes of course but as mines on the roof rack i'll now have one at the bottom. Two triangles, two extinguishers, bulb set, hi-vis jackets, tow strop and the obligatory reflective tape on the back and front (and sides). Did I forget anything in the list? If I did I bet i've got it anyhow.
